SOLVED: Writing RPi2 image to SD Card: dism Error: 1168 — cannot find element

  • Question

  • Hello all,

    I have installed Windows 10 build 10074 (Dutch language) on a PC, no VM.

    I have downloaded and extracted Windows_IoT_Core_RPI2_BUILD.zip

    One of the files extracted is Flash.ffu

    I have established that my SD card is a class 10 and 16 GB

    I open an Administrator command prompt.

    I have established the SD card is seen as «Disk 1» 14 GB size

    I change directory to the directory containing Flash.ffu

    I execute the command:  «dism.exe /Apply-Image /ImageFile:flash.ffu /ApplyDrive:\.PhysicalDrive1 /SkipPlatformCheck»

    I receive follwing error:

    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 10.0.10074.0

    Kan element niet vinden.

    The DISM log file can be found at C:WindowsLogsDISMdism.log

    > «Kan element niet vinden» translates as : «Cannot find element»

    I notice a difference in filename between the extracted «Flash.ffu» and the «flash.ffu» (capital F) so I retry the command as:

    «dism.exe /Apply-Image /ImageFile:Flash.ffu /ApplyDrive:\.PhysicalDrive1 /SkipPlatformCheck»

    but with same error 1168

    The DISM log entry follows below.

    Anyone encountering the same issue, and better still, have found a solution?

    Many thanks!

    Ralph

  • According to my research FfuProvider.dll checks this values and fails if one of them is empty.
    This is the only reason why dism fails with 1168 error on a Hyper-V virtual machine.

    You can patch x86 version of FfuProvider.dll with HEX editor.
    File offset 0x7312, replace B8 90 04 07 80 with B8 00 00 00 00 (valid for 10074 and 10075)

    Be sure you are patch and use an appropriate version of x86 dism:

    10074
    C:windowsSysWOW64Dism.exe
    C:windowsSysWOW64dismFfuProvider.dll
    To replace this file you have to become his owner and modify access rights.

    10075
    C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10Assessment and Deployment KitDeployment Toolsx86DISMdism.exe
    C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10Assessment and Deployment KitDeployment Toolsx86DISMffuprovider.dll

    Paths is for x64 windows system.

    Be careful: dism can rewrite any drive, including the system drive of running system if you specify its number in \.PhysicalDriveN

  • I’m very sorry to hear that you are still experiencing this issue.  Please know that we are looking into it and hope to have a solution or work-around available for you soon.

    The only other suggestion I can think of at the moment is if you could borrow a friends laptop that has a SD card reader built in you might get better results that way.

  • OK, today I copied the Flash.ffu file to a Surface PRO 3 running Windows 10 build 10074.

    I have succesfully flashed two SD cards (SanDisk Ultra microSDHC UHS-1 cards with 8 GB, class 10) with the dism.exe on that Surface (dism version 10.0.10074.0).

    The first card I flashed using the build-in micro SD-card reader of the Surface. The second card I flashed using the exact same USB cardreader that does not work on my other computer (recognized by wmic as ChipBank SD/MM Reader USB Device).

    So the USB reader works on the Surface, but does not work on my other computer.

    The Windows 10 builds are both 10074, but the Surface runs the English language, the other computer runs the Dutch language.

    The computer on which the USB stick does not work is based on an ASUS P5LD2-VM motherboard (using the build in USB ports).

    So I will be off playing with the RPI-2 this weekend, but I will keep an eye out for the solution to the issue in this forum.

    Happy to provide more details if required by the engineers!

  • Hi,

    I had a similar problem with the above mentioned error. I tested all recomended methods/solutions with two USB card readers and three SD cards (class 10) but with no success. Now I installed Windows on the laptop that has SD card reader built
    in, as recomended above, and it works fine. Thanks for the tip!

  • Hello MiPiGamer,

    The page with instructions is here: http://ms-iot.github.io/content/win10/SetupRPI.htm

    The package including the image can be downloaded in step 3:
    Download the package «Windows 10 IoT Core Insider Preview Image for Raspberry Pi 2» from Microsoft Connect (you must be signed in to Microsoft Connect).

    Aside from the issue above writing the image, all went according to the description, and «Blinky» made the LED blink!

    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 10.0.10074.0

    Applying image
    [==========================100.0%==========================]
    The operation completed successfully.

    I confirm this patch absolutely fixed the issue, well done and many thanks indeed !!!

    Hope this finds its way into the next release of Windows 10.

Версия: 1

Внимание: Информация, содержащаяся в данном документе, в том числе о продуктах и версиях программного обеспечения, является актуальной на дату выпуска.Документ может быть изменен без предварительного уведомления.

Дата выпуска : 30-Jul-2019

Последнее обновление : 30-Jul-2019

ОПИСАНИЕ

При использовании Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) для настройки систем в области «ПРИМЕНЕНИЕ» появляется следующее сообщение об ошибке DISM:

Ошибка: 1168.

Элемент не найден.

Это может произойти, когда средство командной строки Microsoft Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) выполняет команды для настройки драйвера Realtek HD Audio (SoftPaq SP95193). Проблема возникает из-за того, что драйвер содержит неправильно работающий компонент универсальной платформы Windows (UWP).

ПРИМЕНЕНИЕ

Информация в этом документе относится к следующему:

Компьютеры:

Ноутбук HP EliteBook 830 G5

Операционные системы:

Microsoft Windows 10 RS5 (версия 1809)

РЕШЕНИЕ

Ниже приведены действия, которые необходимо выполнить для установки данного компонента с SCCM.

  1. Разархивируйте SoftPaq

  2. Дополните командный файл для установки компонента UWP с DISM. Вот команда DISM, которую нужно вставить в командный файл:

    @echo ON dism.exe /image:%OSD_System% /add-Driver /Driver:%~dp0HSAcb68d18decd44cd44c94bec5cd2a2c354180.appxbundle /Region=»all» /LicensePath:%~dp0HSAcb68d18decd44cd44c94bec5cd2a2c354180_License1.xml /DependencyPackagePath:%~dp0HSA Micrsooft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.26706.0_x64_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx

    Примечание.

    Переменная
    %OSD_System%, используемая в приведенной выше команде, устанавливается предыдущим действием последовательности задач.

  3. Создайте пакет и добавьте действие командной строки, чтобы выполнить командный файл сразу после образа Windows и перед установкой параметров Windows.

  4. Разверните последовательность задач и используйте диспетчер устройств, чтобы убедиться в правильности установки драйвера Realtek Audio.

SOLVED: Writing RPi2 image to SD Card: dism Error: 1168 — cannot find element

  • Question

  • Hello all,

    I have installed Windows 10 build 10074 (Dutch language) on a PC, no VM.

    I have downloaded and extracted Windows_IoT_Core_RPI2_BUILD.zip

    One of the files extracted is Flash.ffu

    I have established that my SD card is a class 10 and 16 GB

    I open an Administrator command prompt.

    I have established the SD card is seen as «Disk 1» 14 GB size

    I change directory to the directory containing Flash.ffu

    I execute the command:  «dism.exe /Apply-Image /ImageFile:flash.ffu /ApplyDrive:.PhysicalDrive1 /SkipPlatformCheck»

    I receive follwing error:

    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 10.0.10074.0

    Kan element niet vinden.

    The DISM log file can be found at C:WindowsLogsDISMdism.log

    > «Kan element niet vinden» translates as : «Cannot find element»

    I notice a difference in filename between the extracted «Flash.ffu» and the «flash.ffu» (capital F) so I retry the command as:

    «dism.exe /Apply-Image /ImageFile:Flash.ffu /ApplyDrive:.PhysicalDrive1 /SkipPlatformCheck»

    but with same error 1168

    The DISM log entry follows below.

    Anyone encountering the same issue, and better still, have found a solution?

    Many thanks!

  • According to my research FfuProvider.dll checks this values and fails if one of them is empty.
    This is the only reason why dism fails with 1168 error on a Hyper-V virtual machine.

    You can patch x86 version of FfuProvider.dll with HEX editor.
    File offset 0x7312, replace B8 90 04 07 80 with B8 00 00 00 00 (valid for 10074 and 10075)

    Be sure you are patch and use an appropriate version of x86 dism:

    10074
    C:windowsSysWOW64Dism.exe
    C:windowsSysWOW64dismFfuProvider.dll
    To replace this file you have to become his owner and modify access rights.

    10075
    C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10Assessment and Deployment KitDeployment Toolsx86DISMdism.exe
    C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10Assessment and Deployment KitDeployment Toolsx86DISMffuprovider.dll

    Paths is for x64 windows system.

    Be careful: dism can rewrite any drive, including the system drive of running system if you specify its number in .PhysicalDriveN

  • I’m very sorry to hear that you are still experiencing this issue.  Please know that we are looking into it and hope to have a solution or work-around available for you soon.

    The only other suggestion I can think of at the moment is if you could borrow a friends laptop that has a SD card reader built in you might get better results that way.

  • OK, today I copied the Flash.ffu file to a Surface PRO 3 running Windows 10 build 10074.

    I have succesfully flashed two SD cards (SanDisk Ultra microSDHC UHS-1 cards with 8 GB, class 10) with the dism.exe on that Surface (dism version 10.0.10074.0).

    The first card I flashed using the build-in micro SD-card reader of the Surface. The second card I flashed using the exact same USB cardreader that does not work on my other computer (recognized by wmic as ChipBank SD/MM Reader USB Device).

    So the USB reader works on the Surface, but does not work on my other computer.

    The Windows 10 builds are both 10074, but the Surface runs the English language, the other computer runs the Dutch language.

    The computer on which the USB stick does not work is based on an ASUS P5LD2-VM motherboard (using the build in USB ports).

    So I will be off playing with the RPI-2 this weekend, but I will keep an eye out for the solution to the issue in this forum.

    Happy to provide more details if required by the engineers!

  • Hi,

    I had a similar problem with the above mentioned error. I tested all recomended methods/solutions with two USB card readers and three SD cards (class 10) but with no success. Now I installed Windows on the laptop that has SD card reader built
    in, as recomended above, and it works fine. Thanks for the tip!

  • Hello MiPiGamer,

    The page with instructions is here: http://ms-iot.github.io/content/win10/SetupRPI.htm

    The package including the image can be downloaded in step 3:
    Download the package «Windows 10 IoT Core Insider Preview Image for Raspberry Pi 2» from Microsoft Connect (you must be signed in to Microsoft Connect).

    Aside from the issue above writing the image, all went according to the description, and «Blinky» made the LED blink!

    Applying image
    [==========================100.0%==========================]
    The operation completed successfully.

    I confirm this patch absolutely fixed the issue, well done and many thanks indeed !!!

    Hope this finds its way into the next release of Windows 10.

Have you ever tried to use your VPN app only to be slapped by an error message saying error 1168 element not found? It is not only annoying but frustrating.

As an avid VPN user, it is normal to encounter one of these errors because VPNs are not as fail-proof as one might think.

But you are in the right place if you have experienced this error, so read till the end to know how to clear VPN error 1168 element not found for good.

What is the element not found error?

The element not found error is usually a network connection problem that appears on Windows versions 7 and 8.

Oftentimes, this error message pops up when launching your VPN app.

However, it can also happen with apps like File Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Command Prompt, or even the Settings app in Windows.

It usually appears either as a result of a bad Windows update, corrupt drivers, or interference from third-party applications.

Below are some fixes you can try:

  1. Install pending Windows updates
  2. Reload Explorer.exe
  3. Uninstall any recently installed apps
  4. Run the DSM tool
  5. Reset your PC
  6. Use a modern VPN

1. Install pending updates

This error may occur if one of your computer’s software components is outdated.

Therefore, ensure that you update your software to the latest version. Follow the steps below to achieve this:

  1. Open Windows settings.
  2. Click Update and Security.

vpn error 1168 element not found

  1. Click Check for updates.

windows updates

Your PC will search the internet for any relevant updates. Click the Update button to download and install any available updates.

2. Reload Explorer.exe

If you get the element not found error whenever you start up your VPN, you may need to reload your File Explorer. Here is how to do that:

  1. Press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys on your keyboard to launch the Task Manager.
  2. Click on the Details tab.
  3. Right-click Explorer.exe and select End Task. This will close all Windows Explorer processes so you can reload it.

task manager

  1. Click on File and select Create new task.

run new task

  1. Type explorer.exe into the text box.

refresh windows explorer

  1. Tick the Create this task with administrative privileges box and click OK.

Doing this refreshes your computer so that the Windows Explorer process can start afresh.

3. Uninstall any recently installed apps

If you started getting the error message after installing an app, then it’s only logical to uninstall it and check if it fixes the issue.

This is because the new app may have installed a driver that doesn’t support the VPN application. This has worked in many cases, so you should try it if you have any recently installed apps.

To uninstall apps on your computer, follow these steps:

  1. Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard.
  2. Type Control Panel and press Enter to launch the Control Panel.

run dontrol panel

  1. Click on Programs.

programs

  1. Click on Uninstall a program.

uninstall

  1. Search for the recently installed app, right-click on it, and click Uninstall.

uninstall adobe air

Now check to see if your VPN works properly.

Alternatively, some windows updates can cause this error to happen. Therefore, you may need to uninstall recent updates. The process is similar to the one above. However, instead of clicking on Uninstall a program,

  1. Click on View installed updates.

view installed updates

  1. Then right-click on the affected updates and click Uninstall.

uninstall updates

Check back to see if the error message is now clear.

4. Run the DISM tool

Running the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool is another fix for the element not found error.

The purpose of the tool is to scan your PC for problems that can lead to errors and repair them for you.

To run this tool:

  1. Search for Command Prompt from your Start Menu.
  2. Right-click on its icon and select Run as administrator. After this, a black rectangular window will pop up, asking for a command.

    command prompt

  3. Type in the following command: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth and press the Enter key.

    cmd

  4. After the scan is complete, type this second command: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and press Enter to run it.

    cmd

This fix requires a little bit of patience if there are serious or multiple issues with your configuration.

The good news is that it can get rid of a lot of errors and there’s not a lot of work on your end, you just have to make sure you enter the correct commands.

5. Reset Your PC

Resetting your PC should be the last fix to try if you have tried fixes 1- 4 and none worked. Although intense, performing a full reset on your PC is definitely going to clear this error from your computer.

Follow these steps to reset your PC:

  1. Open Computer Settings and click Update and Security.
  2. Click Recovery.
  3. Then click on Get Started below the Reset PC menu.

  1. Select an option from the menu that appears and follow the instructions to reset your PC.

Resetting your PC returns the Windows OS to its original condition – as it was when you first installed it without all the installed programs so it is important to back up your personal files.

6. Use a modern VPN

This element not found error is most pronounced on VPNs with old tunneling protocols, especially L2TP and PPTP.

Therefore, switching to a provider with modern protocols such as OpenVPN and Wireguard is a sure way to fix the issue permanently.

If you want an error-free experience and very fast connections, consider ExpressVPN.

The tool is frequently updated to avoid errors. On top of that, as you can see in the screenshot, it gives you the possibility to pick from multiple VPN protocols.

We must also mention that the VPN has a large network of 3000+ servers located in 94 countries. This is great for anyone who uses VPNs for a better connection or to bypass geo-blocking.

ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN

Use this up-to-date VPN to prevent any errors and enjoy all the benefits of private browsing!

Conclusion

We tested all the fixes in this article. Therefore, we hope that one of them works for you and helps you get rid of the VPN error 1168 element not found on your PC.

  • Question

  • I am trying to install printer drivers on two Windows 2012R2 servers and I am getting  the error: Printer driver was not installed  ‘Element not found’.  In the setupapi.dev.log file it shows ‘

    Class installer: failed(0x00000490)!

    Error 1168: Element not found

    I have tried using the pnputil to add the driver, but nothing has worked.

Answers

  • This sounds like the print drivers are not package aware print drivers.

    I assume other printer drivers install without any issue, just some drivers that you have not mentioned where they were obtained.

    If the print driver does install on one 2012R2 machine, use the print backup utility c:windowssystem32spooltoolsprintbrm.exe to backup the driver and then restore the driver to the machine with the issue adding the driver to the driverstore.

    printbrm -b -f backup.printerexport

    printbrm -r -s printserver -f backup.printerexport

After you upgrade to Windows 10 or install a Windows 10 Feature update, you’ll be able to go back to your previous version of Windows within a limited time of 10 days. This can be done by opening Settings → Update & Security → Recovery → Go back to the previous version of Windows 10.

windows 10 go back uninstall days

(If you have upgraded from Windows 7, you’ll see Go back to Windows 7 instead.)

Rolling back to the previous version using this method keeps your personal files, but it’ll remove your customizations, apps, and drivers installed after the upgrade. By default, you have ten days, before which you can roll back to the previous version of Windows.

Uninstalling the current version and going back to the previous version of Windows also frees up gigabytes of data on your hard disk, as the Windows.old folder is deleted.

After the 10-day window, the previous Windows installation files under the Windows.old directory would be automatically erased (maybe using Disk Cleanup) by the Operating System. The Get started button would then be grayed out.

free disk space after windows upgrade

In Windows 10 versions before the Anniversary Update (v1607), the rollback timeframe was 30 days. Since the Anniversary Update, Microsoft has reduced the uninstall window to 10 days. As per Microsoft, it was a data-driven decision (based on telemetry) to change the rollback timeframe from 30 to just 10 days. Quoting the source:

Based on our user research, we noticed most users who choose to go back to a previous version of Windows do it within the first several days. As such, we changed the setting to 10 days to free storage space used by previous copies.

Evaluating an Operating System may need more time for end-users, and a 10-day window is insufficient for most people. The good news is that you can increase the Go back to the previous version of Windows to a maximum of 60 days manually.

This article tells you how to extend the 10-day rollback window on your Windows 10 computer.

Using the DISM utility, you can do the following:

  • Find out how many days after an upgrade that an OS can be uninstalled.
  • Initiate an uninstall or roll back to the previous OS or version.
  • Remove the ability to uninstall a Windows upgrade.
  • Set the number of days that a user has to uninstall a Windows upgrade.

(Reference: DISM Operating System uninstall Command-Line Options.)

Find the rollback timeframe (number of days)

To determine the uninstall window timeframe (days) of your existing Windows installation, run this command from admin Command Prompt:

DISM /Online /Get-OSUninstallWindow

You’ll see the following output:

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.19041.572

Image Version: 10.0.19042.661

Uninstall Window : 10
The operation completed successfully.

Increase the rollback timeframe (number of days)

Run this command to set the number of days after an upgrade that an uninstall can be initiated.

Syntax:

DISM /Online /Set-OSUninstallWindow /Value:<days>

The value (i.e., number of days) must be in the range of 2 to 60. If the value you input doesn’t fall in that range, the default value of 10 will be set.

Example:

DISM /Online /Set-OSUninstallWindow /Value:30

You should see the message “The operation completed successfully” in the output.

The above command-line sets the rollback window to 30 days. Windows won’t erase the Windows.old folder before 30 days.

Set the Rollback timeframe via the Registry

You can set the rollback window timeframe by editing the registry, as well.

  1. Start the Registry Editor, and go to the following branch: 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMSetup
  2. Create a new DWORD value named UninstallWindow if it doesn’t already exist.
  3. Double-click UninstallWindow, select Decimal, and type in the desired value (>2 to <60), and click OK.
    windows 10 go back uninstall days
    Note that if the above registry value doesn’t exist, “10” days will be the default threshold limit used by Windows.
  4. Exit the Registry Editor.

After the registry modification, it’s better that you restart Windows, though the DISM Get-OSUninstallWindow command would reflect the registry change even if you don’t reboot.

Additional Tip

There are two more DISM switches namely, Initiate-OSUninstall and Remove-OSUninstall that you may like to know about. The former is to initiate a rollback using command-line, and the latter is to remove the ability to rollback by users.

The Remove-OSUninstall switch would gray out the Get Started button under the Go back to the previous… section. The command deletes the following registry values from the abovesaid branch. It may also remove the corresponding BCD data and the Windows Recovery Environment entry named “Go back to the previous build.”

Registry values:

  • UninstallActive
  • UninstallGUID
  • UninstallMark
  • UninstallScenario

Error: 1168 – Element not found

In some cases, the error 1168 (‘element not found’) may occur when running the DISM Get-OSUninstallWindow or Set-OSUninstallWindow command.

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.19041.572

Image Version: 

Error: 1168

Element not found.

The DISM log file can be found at C:WINDOWSLogsDISMdism.log

The DISM.log file would show the following entries:

Error DISM DISM SetupPlatform Provider: PID=3944 TID=9192 Failed while processing command get-osuninstallwindow. - CSetupPlatformManager::ExecuteCmdLine(hr:0x80070490)

Error 1168 (0x80070490), which denotes “Element not found”, occurs if the Windows.old folder (especially the subfolder $WINDOWS.~BT) has been deleted by Windows after the rollback window has expired.

It’s also possible that you’ve manually cleared the “Previous Windows installation(s)” files using Disk Cleanup or Storage settings to recover the disk space.free disk space after windows upgrade

windows 10 go back uninstall days

The DISM DISM Get-OSUninstallWindow and Set-OSUninstallWindow commands would need the following files in order to work correctly:

C:windows.old$WINDOWS.~BTSourcesapi-ms-win-core-kernel32-legacy-l1-1-0.dll
C:windows.old$WINDOWS.~BTSourcesfltLib.dll
C:windows.old$WINDOWS.~BTSourcesmpr.dll

C:windows.old$WINDOWS.~BTSourcesvirtdisk.dll
C:windows.old$WINDOWS.~BTSourceswinhttp.dll
C:windows.old$WINDOWS.~BTSourceswtsapi32.dll

windows 10 go back uninstall days

If Windows.old or its subfolder $WINDOWS.~BT is missing, or if some of the DLLs are missing in that location, you’ll get one of the following errors:

Error: 1168

Element not found.

The DISM log file can be found at C:WINDOWSLogsDISMdism.log
Error: 126

The specified module could not be found.

The DISM log file can be found at C:WINDOWSLogsDISMdism.log
Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified

hand point iconDespite this, you should be able to set the uninstall threshold or timeframe using the registry method described above.

Closing words

It’s unclear whether the uninstall window you set using DISM or the registry will the preserved or not if you install an update (Feature Update) in the future.

Of course, the ultimate trick of renaming C:Windows.old and C:$Windows~BT would prevent Windows 10 from erasing them automatically. By renaming the folders, you get unlimited time to go back to the chosen version.

Using the latest version of DISM (Version: 10.0.14393.0) I mounted the Install.wim for W10 1607 and injected the five roll-up updates (KB3193494, KB3176938, KB3176934, KB3176495, KB3176929.)  I got no errors during the installs, but afterward I got
the 1168 error and the message that the image was no longer serviceable.

I first tried this on my host system running W10 1511, then my Hyper-V VM running W10 1607 (with SecureBoot enabled).  The error is the same on both.  Injecting only one KB gave no error.

The roll-up updates were DLed from Microsoft Update Catalog and the hash codes confirmed.

Below is the DISM log (LogLevel:1).

Thanks and enjoy, John.

Have you ever tried to use your VPN app only to be slapped by an error message saying error 1168 element not found? It is not only annoying but frustrating.

As an avid VPN user, it is normal to encounter one of these errors because VPNs are not as fail-proof as one might think.

But you are in the right place if you have experienced this error, so read till the end to know how to clear VPN error 1168 element not found for good.

What is the element not found error?

The element not found error is usually a network connection problem that appears on Windows versions 7 and 8.

Oftentimes, this error message pops up when launching your VPN app.

However, it can also happen with apps like File Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Command Prompt, or even the Settings app in Windows.

It usually appears either as a result of a bad Windows update, corrupt drivers, or interference from third-party applications.

Below are some fixes you can try:

  1. Install pending Windows updates
  2. Reload Explorer.exe
  3. Uninstall any recently installed apps
  4. Run the DSM tool
  5. Reset your PC
  6. Use a modern VPN

1. Install pending updates

This error may occur if one of your computer’s software components is outdated.

Therefore, ensure that you update your software to the latest version. Follow the steps below to achieve this:

  1. Open Windows settings.
  2. Click Update and Security.

vpn error 1168 element not found

  1. Click Check for updates.

windows updates

Your PC will search the internet for any relevant updates. Click the Update button to download and install any available updates.

2. Reload Explorer.exe

If you get the element not found error whenever you start up your VPN, you may need to reload your File Explorer. Here is how to do that:

  1. Press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys on your keyboard to launch the Task Manager.
  2. Click on the Details tab.
  3. Right-click Explorer.exe and select End Task. This will close all Windows Explorer processes so you can reload it.

task manager

  1. Click on File and select Create new task.

run new task

  1. Type explorer.exe into the text box.

refresh windows explorer

  1. Tick the Create this task with administrative privileges box and click OK.

Doing this refreshes your computer so that the Windows Explorer process can start afresh.

3. Uninstall any recently installed apps

If you started getting the error message after installing an app, then it’s only logical to uninstall it and check if it fixes the issue.

This is because the new app may have installed a driver that doesn’t support the VPN application. This has worked in many cases, so you should try it if you have any recently installed apps.

To uninstall apps on your computer, follow these steps:

  1. Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard.
  2. Type Control Panel and press Enter to launch the Control Panel.

run dontrol panel

  1. Click on Programs.

programs

  1. Click on Uninstall a program.

uninstall

  1. Search for the recently installed app, right-click on it, and click Uninstall.

uninstall adobe air

Now check to see if your VPN works properly.

Alternatively, some windows updates can cause this error to happen. Therefore, you may need to uninstall recent updates. The process is similar to the one above. However, instead of clicking on Uninstall a program,

  1. Click on View installed updates.

view installed updates

  1. Then right-click on the affected updates and click Uninstall.

uninstall updates

Check back to see if the error message is now clear.

4. Run the DISM tool

Running the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool is another fix for the element not found error.

The purpose of the tool is to scan your PC for problems that can lead to errors and repair them for you.

To run this tool:

  1. Search for Command Prompt from your Start Menu.
